    If the original designer was on contract to the for the design work, i.e. CR&D, then the government owns that design, and technically can take it anywhere it wants. If it was IR&D then it would be stealing IP.

    Right, so since all our current and past content can't use the wider gamut, we shouldn't be investing in improving the technology.

    I'm glad they didn't listen to you when the transition from black and white to color tvs was taking place.

  25. Re:Most new drivers suck on Self-Parking Cars Coming To U.S. · · Score: 1

    There is no such thing as a "'61 Stingray." In from 1963 to 1967 the Corvette carried the "Sting Ray" label. In 1968 the "Sting Ray" label was dropped. In 1969, the label was brought back, but changed to one word (Stingray). IIRC the last year for the Stingray label was 1977. And anyway you're talking apples and oranges, it's quite obvious that an antique car (45 years old!!), with a solid rear axle and drum brakes, cannot compete with a modern, rally inspired car. If you want to compare Japanse with American, you should choose cars from the same era.
